Someone asked me in private email why randi isn’t available in Octave. They were using 3.2.4 on Ubuntu 12.something and quoted a 6-year old email from the mailing list that said it was added in Octave 3.4. Maybe they are a time traveler from the past? Anyway, after fumbling around for the n-th time trying to find out when 3.2.4 was released (the answer is, a long time ago) I created this page to make those kinds of searches easier.
